As this article by Michelle Malkin makes painfully clear, the real victim of abortion is humanity. This week is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday in many churches, and there will be many sermons concerning abortion and other matters related to human life. I hope that God will sober us through these sermons. Although I understand... Continue Reading →
A Mind to Sin
When you read 1 Samuel 22, you can’t help but to think to yourself, “How in the world can Saul be so blind?” Saul, who was appointed king by popular demand of the people so that they could have a king like the rest of the nations around them, confronts the priest Ahimelech about whether...

Dr. Death Has New Life
I'm not sure whether to blame it on vanity or the cheap thrill of provocative exploits, but Hollywood and liberal elites are giving Dr. Death new life, and this is not a good thing. Wesley J. Smith has posted an important piece which chronicles Jack Kevorkian's resurrection to infamy. As Smith demonstrates accurately, Jack Kevorkian's... Continue Reading →
A Closer Look Into Iran
Typically, all we know about Iran is that they are going nuclear, and we (meaning Americans) might be in danger from such a move. Sure, as Christians--as well as Americans--our interests are political. We ought to be concerned about Iran's nuclear ambitions. However, we Christians have a much larger concern (as is pointed out nicely... Continue Reading →

Court rejects D.C. same-sex marriage case – UPI.com
Court rejects D.C. same-sex marriage case - UPI.com. I am not yet sure what exactly this decision by the Supreme Court means. I am trying to find information and do a little more research on it. My first response was a disappointed shock, as in, "Why have John Roberts as Chief Justice if he is... Continue Reading →
Headlining a Non Event
A story on Fox News caught my eye. The headline said, "Taliban May Lift Ban on Education for Women." I thought to myself, "Wow! Maybe pressure from the Christian West is finally paying off in Muslim countries, which have often been much less amenable to women's rights than Christian countries." Even on Fox News, however,...

What’s in a Name (a person)
Loughner, the Tucson murderer, is clearly crazy. In an earlier blog post, I said Loughner represented an “anti-gospel.” After reading some of the findings of the Secret Service study on would-be assassins, I think I can say that Loughner is anti-gospel, if not anti-Christ. (I don’t mean he is the Antichrist or anything like that. ... Continue Reading →

Death to Self-pity
When I was a child, I enjoyed sports—any sport. At Christmas, I would ask for sporting goods related to football or basketball. For my birthday, which is in early March, I would ask for fishing gear, camping gear, baseball equipment, or a bow and arrow set. I remember one Christmas that I didn’t get a... Continue Reading →
Another Christian Shot
Another Christian was shot and killed in Egypt according to this news report. It is not yet clear whether this was an act of persecution or murder. The shooter opened fire on a bus filled with passengers. It is possible that the bus was targeted because it was from a Christian village. The news report... Continue Reading →
More Burning Anger
Today, the President admonished Pastor Jones, encouraging him to "listen to those better angels" who recommend not burning the Quran. There is a united consensus among leaders in America that Pastor Jones should not burn the Muslim books. Political leaders, religious leaders, media elites have uniformly condemned the act. I heard this morning that some--including... Continue Reading →
Sensible Response
Sarah Palin has a sensible response to the book burning down in Gainesville. Koran Burning Is Insensitive, Unnecessary; Pastor Jones, Please Stand Down Book burning is antithetical to American ideals. People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation – much like... Continue Reading →
